Biography
Aaron was the son of Amram and Jochebed and the brother of Miriam and Moses, and he met his brother for the first time in 1531 BC, when Moses - who had been adopted as a prince of Egypt - was shown his birth family. During the Exodus, Aaron functioned as Moses' assistant, turning his rod into a snake in front of Pharaoh Ramesses II to prove God's support for the Israelites. After the Tabernacle was built, Aaron became the first High Priest of Israel, and Joshua became Moses' new assistant. Aaron was provoked to make a golden calf after being pressured to do so by Dathan and the nonbelievers among the Jewish refugees, but he was saved from death after Moses' intercession. Like Moses, Aaron was not allowed to enter the Promised Land due to their shared impatience with their 40 years of wandering, and Aaron died near Kadesh in 1452 BC.
